The core of the collection consists of letters to Curt Glaser from his colleagues in the fields of art and museums, including Wilhelm von Bode, Heinrich Wölfflin, Max J. Friedländer, and Adolf Goldschmidt. Of special interest is an original sketch by painter and illustrator Thomas Theodor Heine depicting himself, Mrs. Curt Glaser, and a dog. Also included are biographical notes; clippings, including obituaries; and reprint of Glaser's article "The Louvre Coronation and the early phase of Fra Angelico's art."
